Personally I would try to go with a UN*X machine and either
INFORMIX or UNIFY as the data base.  Both of them are available
as UN*X or MS-DOS data base managers, and both have decent C
interface packages (I have never seen a DBM that will do what I
want without custom subroutines).

Choosing the UN*X hardware will simplify data transfer with the
3B?, but only if the transfer is in ASCII.  --- No internal DB
format.
